Goldsboro, March 19. Today is an anniversary memorable in the history of Wayne. Just thirty six years ago today. Sunday, March 19, 1865. Generals Jos. E. Johnson and Wm. T. Sherman met on the field and waged that conflict known as the battle of Bentonsville. Many here today recall the fact that the report of the guns could be plainly heard in th city. Mrs. John R. Crawford entertained the F. L. S. Club last evening. The feature of the evening was a "puzzle contest." Miss Nannie Farrior won first prize, while the "booby" was cap tured by Miss Annie Powell. The hap py guests were regaled with refresh ments after the contest and returned to their homes delighted with Mrs. Crawford as a hostess. Judge E. K.

There are now on the civil docket eighty-one cases for the term with the magistrates of the county yet to hear from. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) Goldsboro. March 20. A delightful rain has fallen and growing vegetation lifts its head in grateful acknowledgement. As April, the convention month, ap proaches, the mayorality question Is warming up and the question who will be our next mayor is the absorbing one. As yet there is but one avowed candi date, but there are otners "in the hands of their friends." That sentiment, however, is growing that a young man shall be our next mayor is very evi dent. Following the mayorality ques tion is the aldermanic question, but for the time being, this is overshadowed. The sad news reached here this morn ing of the death of Mrs. Arthur Cope land, at Klnston. last night after a brief illness, aged about 30 years. Mrs. Copeland was a 6ister of Mrs. M. E. Bizzell. of this city. W. S. Stevens, the efficient clerk of the court of Johnson county, was a visitor here today. He is an old Wayne county boy. who is making his mark elsewhere.

HoJt and H .Lutterloh. the promoters of the enterprise, the design of which is the formation of a company for the establishment of the Fayetteville and Wilmington line of steamers on the Care Fear river and the construction of a street railway line in this city, for the conveyance of both passengers and freight, the latter es pecially to the steamboat wharves. The capitaly wanted for this great in dustrial movement is $125,000, of which the sum of J 100, 000 was obtained with out any difficulty, and a committee was appointed to make a canvass for the remaining $25,000. Of course the community is fully alive to the para mount interest of this meeting, and the successful outcome of its proceedings will be awaited with eager anxiety. The Cumberland Manufacturing Com pany, the incorporation of which was noted in The Messenger a short time ago. is now beginning the work of erec tion of Its plant in the northeastern part of town. Just beyond the Presby terian church.

DUPLIN COURT Judge Hoke Visiting Attorneys The Docket County Offllclals-Scenes 1d the Iioneyard The State of Duplln .Tanies Sprunt Institute. (Special Correspondence.) Kenans ville, March 20. Editor Messenger: Duplin court is in session here this week, his honor. Judge W. A. Hoke, presiding and Solicitor Rodolph Duffy appearing for the state. Both dockets are light with no cases of unusual im portance, except one capital case, it is a one-week term. I note the following named Visiting attorneys: H. E. Shaw, of Kinston; H. L. Stevens, of Warsaw; A. L. Grady, of Mt. Olive; W. H. Carr. of Wilmington: Henry A. Grady, of Turkey, and H. E. Faison. of Clinton. The resident lawyers are: H. G. Wil liams. L. A. Beasley and D. L. Carl ton. Duplin has a splendid outfit of county officials. They seem to feel that a "public office is a public trust," and therefore look after the best intersts of the good as well as the bad people of "the state of Duplin," as the county as often termed on account, I suppose, of the great extent of its territory. Their names are: L. Middleton, sher iff; B. F. Pearsall, register of deeds; Herbert Smith, clerk of the court; G. G. Best, deputy sheriff: T G. Dobson. court crier. No one within a quarter or a mile, or somewhere about that, need fail to hear that powerful and splendid Voice of Mr. Dobson when he cris out: "O. yez, O yez, this honorabl? euuru is now reaay ior Dusiness; Uod save the state and this honorable court. I am writing this sitting on the root or a large pine tree on what is widely known as the "bone-yard." I am told that this beautiful five or six acre lot of land got this name from being the headquarters, duriner court wek here for the horse traders. On this lot art many stately pines and on one corner is tne uaptist church. At this writing late in the afternoon I see almost hundreds of horses and men of many descriptions, they are galloping and anvmg xo ana iro and making all kinds of trades. It Is an interesting sight and would be a fine field for the artfet. I am told that in this rush horses sometimes sell for 25 cents and tnat a swap has been made for as in valuable a thing as a hen and her bid dies. I can see from where I sit manv carts from New river and other points on the coast with fish and oysters and near them are five to ten feet lon tables from which 10-cent meaJs are served. This meal Includes corn bread, fish and coffee. Oysters are separate and at 25 cents. Near the tables are the fires with the skillets and coffee kettles set on pieces of bricks or rocks. Here is where the cooking is done. Horse trades here are often made by any kind of a light that can be muster ed up. These interesting times at court might properly be termed the horse traders semi-annual festival. There was an entertainment at the James Sprunt institute here last night which was highly creditable to all con cerned. Many people attended from surrounding country. Rev. W. M. Shaw and his abJe assistants are doing a splendid work here. It is a progres sive school. J. A. CREWS. ANOTHER BLIZZARD Raging Over the Northwest-Streams Out of Their Banks. Chicago, March 19. A snow storm approaching a blizzard in severity swept over the Missouri rivr vaUey today, and tonight it was still raging. Ne braska, western Iowa, South Dakota. Wyoming and Kansas ffJt the effects of the storm which tied up street car traffic in many cities and delayed rail road traffic. In northwest Michigan, where the railroads had hardly recov ered from last week's storm, a heavy snow fell and continued all night- It was feared it would do more damage than the last storm, and arrangements were made to side track trains to pre vent their being snowed in.

AYCOCK Invited to Address Southern Society of New York The Impeachment Trial. Special Term or Court for Columbus County Corporation Commission. Messenger Bureau. Raleigh N. C, March 20. Governor Aycock today received an invitation from judge Van Wyck, of New York, to address the Southern So ciety there May 20th, taking as his topic "North Carolina.' The governor fears he will not be able to attend, hav ing accepted at least half a dozen in vitations to deliver college addresses. He will also apply most of his spare time to work fn the interest of the pub lic schools a matter in which he feels the deepest interest. He is determined to lift the shadow of illiteracy from the state. - There is no abatement in interest in the impeachment trial. Judge Mont gomery was the chief witness today. Theophilus White, ex-shellfish com missioner, in whose case the impeach ment matter originated, is a 'witness for the prosecution. Governor Aycock orders a special term of superior court for Columbus county, beginning May Sth, for the trial of civil cases, Judge McNeill to preside. Rev. Dr. G. A. Dickinson,, of New Haven, Conn., was here today on his way to Winston, to attend the great educational conference, which meets there next month. Great numbers of newspaper writers from the north will be present. Reports from this section show that water is low in many wells and many spiings are dry. It is said the upper Cape Fear river is lower than ever be fore at this season of the year. The corporation commission meets to day. Under the "machinery act" of the last legislature a great many new duties devolve upon it; particularly the duty as a state tax assessment board. It will probably appoint a clerk this week, to have charge of this new de partment of its work. The fire insurance companies nearly all did a profitable business in this state last year. The fire losses were not up to the average in amount. Sev eral new companies have entered the tate during the past twelve months, and three of those which withdrew in 1899 haves returned. In the evidence of Judges Furches and Douglas in the impeachment trial they declared that they having delivered the opinion and rendered the judgment in the White case at February term, 1900, the case then went off the docket, but that they advised the clerk that upon the opinion and judgment of the court it was his duty to insure the manda mus and he ought to do so, and that they did not wish to evade any respon sibility which attached to them as judges in this matter. The Fowler-Thomas Contest. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) Rose Hill. N. C. March 19. The taking of testimony in the elec tion contest in the Third congressional district of Fowler against Thomas, has been under way here since 10 o'clock this morning, before George E.

Carleton, attorney, appears for Mr. Thomas, the contestee. Up to the hour of closing this report the following witnesses have been ex amimed in behalf of the contestant Messrs. O. L. Ward. Hiram Swinson, C. E. P. Lance. J. H. Fussen, A. W. Mallard. Of the 306 witnesses subpoenaed eighty-five are white. ThJa examina tion will continue during tomorrow. Several hundred people are here in at tendance. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) Rose Hill, N. C, March 20. In the proceedings here yesterday af ternoon and today relative to the hear ing in the Fowler-Thomas contest in the Third congressional district the taking of depositions of the following witnesses, in behalf of Mr. Fowler, contestant, was continued,, with una bated interest: James D. Brown, W. I. Hall, J. C. Boone, J. F. Wallace, J. McN. Wallace, W. R. Newberry, D. H. Murphy, T. W. Murphy, Eli Mobley, Jacob James, R. C. Sewell, and Nicanor James, who is on the stand as this re port closes. Taking into consideration that this mass of testimony is taken down in long hand, the progress is good, but the work involved is undoubtedly very trying .to the commissioner, Major George E. Butler and to the learned counsel on both sides, Messrs. A. D. Ward and D. L. Carlton for Hon. C. R. Thomas and Mr. Thad. Jones who ap pears for Hon. J. E Fowler. The hear ing will conclude tomorrow and will be renewed at Falsons Friday. Mayor Van Wyck to Carried e New York. March 20. Mayor Van Wyck today sent the following cable gram to Andrew Carnegie addressed to Southampton: "The people of the city of New York heartily thank you for your noble offer to give $5,000,000 for the establishment of free circulating libraries in their city. They extend to you their best wishes, with a full appreciation of the magni tude of your gift to them and the splen did generosity that prompted It." We give no rewards. An offer of this kind 3s the meanest of deceptions. Test the curative powers of Eays Cream Balm for the cure of Catarrh. Hay Fe ver an dCold in the Head and you are sure to continue the treatment.
